Patent Claims
9 claims

Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

2

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising determining, based at least in part on a determined confidence level associated with the image, that the unknown object is not resolvable within the threshold period of time.

8

8. The method of claim 1, further comprising generating vibrational patterns corresponding to navigation in the presence of the unknown object or voice-assisted navigation updates corresponding to navigation in the presence of the unknown object, or both.

10

10. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the processor is to determine, based at least in part on an object recognition model executed by the processor, that the unknown object is not resolvable within the threshold period of time.

11

11. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the first type of media and the second type of media each comprise sets of memory cells that exhibit different storage characteristics.

16

16. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the processor is to execute instructions corresponding to one or more machine learning operations as part of performance of the operation involving the data corresponding to the unknown object to resolve the unknown object.

18

18. The system of claim 17, wherein the processor is to notify the user of the mobile computing device that the unknown object is resolved in response to a determination that the operation to resolve the unknown object is successful within the second threshold period of time.

19

19. The system of claim 17, wherein the processor is to update route information associated with the mobile computing device to route the user of the mobile computing device away from the unknown object in response to a determination that the operation to resolve the unknown object is unsuccessful within the second threshold period of time.

23

23. The system of claim 17, wherein the processor is to generate vibrational patterns corresponding to navigation in the presence of the unknown object or voice-assisted navigation updates corresponding to navigation in the presence of the unknown object, or both.

24

24. The system of claim 17, wherein the processor is to perform the operation involving the unidentifiable pixels corresponding to the unknown object to resolve the unknown object as part of execution of instructions to assist a visually impaired user of the mobile computing device.
